Su Mu smiled slightly. He probably understood why Sikong Zhen came to investigate. The value of the mithril mine would also attract the nobles. It was not difficult to imagine that Qian Zihao would definitely transfer a large amount of funds to the Sikong family every year in order to obtain protection. Now that Qian Zihao is dead, the Sikong family will naturally find a new agent to take over the mithril mine.
Of course, it is impossible for Qian Zihao to only give money to the Sikong family. He would also have dealings with other nobles in the imperial capital and even various departments. Human relations are never a straight line, but an intricate network.
There must have been a small game among the nobles in the imperial capital as to who to send to Star City to investigate this time. In the end, the Sikong family won and came to reap the wealth and investigate the seven deadly sins of pride.
"Let's go to the Law Enforcement Bureau. Don't keep the distinguished guests from the imperial capital waiting for too long." Su Mu slowly stood up from the sofa, elegantly tidied his slightly wrinkled clothes, picked up the serpentine wood cane, and left with Nangong Mengli.
Star City Law Enforcement Bureau, interrogation room.
The lighting was dim, and the entire interrogation room was lit by a single direct light, shining directly at the center.
The center is empty except for a chair made of mithril alloy. This chair is cast together with the ground and looks very solid.
Murong Yun was blinded by the bright light. His body was restrained on a mithril alloy chair. He looked at several blurry figures hidden in the darkness outside the light. He felt inexplicably nervous.
This was the first time he entered the Law Enforcement Bureau in this manner. If it were normal, he would have been dissatisfied long ago, but when he heard that it was Sikong Zhen who issued the order, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
It is true that he is a noble, but nobles are also divided into different classes. If Murong Zhuo were still alive, the Murong family might have some face in front of the nobles in the imperial capital, but now...
"Murong Yun, tell us in detail what happened. Tell us everything you know. Don't hide anything."
In the darkness, Mu Lingxi's cold voice rang out.
Murong Yun took a look at the other person. Although the other person's figure was hidden in the darkness, as a second-level silver transcendent, he could naturally see clearly.
She is a beauty.
Beauty is not important, he has plenty of them. What really matters to him is the other person's identity, the captain of the law enforcement team from the General Administration of Law Enforcement. When the beauty is given an aura of high position and power, it does make him feel itchy.
Of course, now he only dares to itch.
All this is because of the pressure from the golden nobility.
Murong Yun began to narrate what had happened honestly. He spoke in great detail and embellished it to a certain extent. He did not want people to know that when his father died, he was like a fool and dared not move.
He looked sad and resentful from time to time, acting very much like a victim who had lost his father.
Mu Lingxi listened expressionlessly, while the law enforcement staff at the side kept taking notes.
"Captain Mu, I have told you everything I know. You must find Pride and avenge my father. He is an imperial noble, and he..."
Before Murong Yun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Lingxi: "As far as I know, Pride once possessed you? Why didn't you tell me that?"
Murong Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his expression stiffened slightly. "I forgot for a moment, but it wasn't a possession. He just walked out of me. He...he was like a ghost, as if he had no entity. I didn't feel anything unusual at the time. I checked it after I went back, and my body was indeed fine."
"A ghost? Other witnesses said that at the time, the head of the Murong family suspected that Pride was not a physical entity, but an illusion. What do you think of this?"
Murong Yun shook his head repeatedly: "How could it be an illusion? How could there be such a real illusion in this world? I saw Ao Wang kill people with my own eyes. He killed many people, and his methods were very strange. He just pointed at someone with his finger and the person he pointed at died. He even killed my father with just a wave of his hand, and he...his head fell off."
When Murong Yun talked about his father, he began to choke up unconsciously and his eyes turned red.
"My father made this judgment because he was arrogant and walked without wind. He was harmed by his inherent experience. A golden warrior can perfectly restrain all his aura and blend into the surrounding environment. It is not difficult for him to walk without wind."
"Do you think Pride is a golden transcendent?" Mu Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Murong Yun looked a little excited: "Of course it must be a gold transcendent. Who else can do this? You don't know, at that time he said that he had had enough fun and was going to do something serious. Then his powerful aura directly affected the lights in the banquet hall, causing them to flicker.
Strange whispers were heard all around, and many guests died on the spot just because they heard the sounds. Who else could this be except a golden transcendent? Who else could do this? "
What he said was still an exaggeration. In fact, the snake god's mumbling did not kill the guests. At most, it gave ordinary people a splitting headache or made them faint. After all, it was a mumbling imitated by [Nature's Silent Sound] and had limited power.
But Murong Yun still had to exaggerate, because only when Arrogant was stronger would he not appear incompetent. If Arrogant was a silver transcendent, how could the entire Murong family hold their heads up in the aristocratic circle?
By then, the news will spread everywhere. Have you heard about it? The Murong family held a banquet on their own territory, and a silver transcendent came to their door. Not only did he kill the head of the Murong family with one move, but he also scared the entire Murong family so much that no one dared to move.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Someone, take Mr. Murong Yun down for a physical examination."
Murong Yun's face changed slightly: "Didn't I tell you? After I went back, I asked someone to do a comprehensive inspection..."
He began to protest. After all, no one likes to have their body manipulated at will by someone they don't understand, especially if some extraordinary means were used, which might cause some sequelae.
However, no one paid attention to his protests. This Star City noble was no match for the real Golden Noble.
After Murong Yun was taken away, a staff member nearby asked, "Captain Mu, the polygraph just sounded several alarms. Murong Yun lied in many places, especially when he expressed his grief for his father."
Mu Lingxi raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth: "I have seen a lot of this kind of stuff. He wishes that the head of the Murong family would die sooner so that he can inherit the entire family. I don't care about the bullshit between the nobles. I have only one purpose in coming here, which is to catch arrogance.
Bring in the next one.”
Soon, Nangong Mengli, dressed in plain clothes and without any makeup on her face, walked into the interrogation room. Her appearance made Mu Lingxi narrow her eyes slightly.
After Nangong Mengli sat in the interrogation chair, Mu Lingxi began to ask questions.
"Ms. Murong, I heard that you are the only one in the entire banquet who dares to stand up and question the arrogant person?"
